PGA Show in Orlando is only a few weeks away

Hopefully during the recent
season of giving, each of you
golfers got a much-wanted new
club, some cold-weather apparel,
a book or something related to the
game. Although most serious
golfers will tell you they do not
need any golf balls, a dozen or two
to add to the arsenal is always wel
come.
The recent blast of cold
weather and snow has not made it
possible for the golfers to get on
the links and test the new equip
ment, wear the new duds or use
any of the new balls. It's been the
Golf Channel and the beginning
of the 2002 PGA Tour season for
most of us. I don't know about
you but the old black and white
competitions they are showing
with the likes of tjicklaus. Palmer,
and Player are interesting to
watch. In any event, hopefully
everyone had a joyous and blessed
holiday season.
The PGA Show in Orlando is
only weeks away. Reports indi
cate Nike will introduce its new
line of golf clubs at the show.
Wonder how long before Tiger
Woods starts playing the new
Nike clubs? You can bet that the
other golf companies will also
have their new clubs, balls and
accessories on display as well. It
has also been rumored that most
of the companies will introduce
moderately priced lines of clubs.
That's certainly appropriate as the
economy takes a dip. Look for o
some nifty marketing genius from
the multibillion dollar golf indus
try again this year.
The dedication of the E. Jerry
Jones Clubhouse at Winston Lake
Golf Course is scheduled for Feb.
16 at noon. Everyone from the
community is. invited to attdnd.
Do not miss this event. Mr. Jones
was instrumental in putting Win
ston-Salem and Winston Lake
Golf Course on the map as a golf
ing Igtven for African Americans
before it was the popular and
accepted thing to do. The city of
Winston-Salem is providing a
memorial in the clubhouse depict
ing the history of the golf course.
Again, don't miss this recognition
of Mr. Jones, and be a part of
African-American history. Mr.
Jones' name was placed on the
front of the clubhouse late last
week.
The Winston Lake Senior
Golf Association will hold its reg
ular monthly meeting next Thurs
day, Jan. 17, at 6:30 p.m. at th?.E.
Jerry Jones Clubhouse at The
Lake. The association president,
Robert Bethea. encourages all
members and prospective mem
bers to attend the first meeting of
i the new year. For details, contact
Bethea at 724-5968.
The Winston Lake Senior
Golf Association will host its
Pinehurst Golf Outing Jan. 20-21
at Foxfire Golf Course. There will
be two days of great fun and, of
course, serious golf. Rabbits and
squirrels will be running rampant
all over Foxfire. Contact Herman
Springs, (336) 661-1063, for
details. There jlill may be a few
openings. More than 30 golfers
have signed up for the annual trip
to Pinehurst. You don't have to be
a member of the association to
attend the outing. Get on over to
Winston Lake Golf Course if you
wanfeto have a golf handicap. For
a $12 fee, you can record your
golf scores and receive a monthly
handicap from (he Carolina Golf
Association. This is the only way
to go if you play in tournaments
throughout the year. Most touma
ments require goiters to submit
valid golf handicaps before play
ing. A golf handicap can also
allow you to see ups and downs in
your golf game - perhaps even the
need for a lesson or two or more.
Until next time, keep it in the
fairway.
